I believe the issue that he had was not in the saying by itself or exposure
to it, but because his daughter in a public school felt forced to resite it.
Using currency is somewhat different, although someone probably would start
the argument, since it does not cause one to make the statement personally.

Greetings Visionaires -

I have an interesting question concerning the atheist who did not want to
expose his daughter to the reference of the existence of God in our Pledge
of Allegiance.  This individual is so firm in his conviction of the
non-existence of a supreme being that he wants "under God" removed from the
pledge.

Question:  What currency does he use in the purchase and sale of goods and
services?  "In God We Trust" is on all US paper currency and on a majority
of US coinage.

Just thought I would pitch in my two cents (or what that the wrong thing to
say),
